The original series, which ran for three seasons on ABC from 1981 through 1983, starred William Katt as Los Angeles public school substitute high school teacher Ralph Hinkley, who’s gifted the suit during a school field trip.
And, it sounds like Meera is going to be just as in the dark when it comes to using her new superpowers as Hinkley was.
Right now, there’s no word on whether or not the threats that Simone’s Meera will face will be Earthly only, or if some extra-terrestrial baddies will come into play as well.
The hour-long show drew comedy from the fact that not only did his character hate wearing the suit, but he’d promptly lost all the instructions for it right after receiving it and often had to figure out how to use it while fighting crime to hilarious results.
